Lock, Stock, And Barrel

Alice and Max split up after three years of marriage. She packed her bag and left and eventually he was notified that they were divorced. He could not see what he had done that could have annoyed her - he loved her very much. He went to visit her a few times at her mother's house in Patterson, but Alice told him it was no use. Once he went there and another man was calling for her for a date. He resented seeing this stranger with his wife - even though she was no longer his wife. She told the stranger that Max had always acted as though he owned her lock, stock, and barrel. Max staggered out after this, and went to a bar and got drunk.
